I was looking for a new game to play and I looked on MMORPG.com and found Eve rated the highest. So I gave it a try. That was 3 years ago today, happy creation day to me.

The project manager (my boss) for another computer game development company showed me some screenshots and had me try it out. It is - and will most likely remain - the only MMO I have ever played. Since then, I have dumped far too many hours into this game, and my family will rejoice when I emoragequit or when EVE finally dies.

My uncle plays EVE. At first all he did was mine and I told him "I want a PvP game." He laughed at me and said it was a PVP game. But he never did it unless his corp needed him to.
So I tried it. I had no clue what to do. I got frustrated and quit with the lack of direction.
I came back a year later and a year wiser and actually did research on what people were doing in game. Found a noob corp, got blown up and loved it all the more. Ever since than I've been addicted to the PvP.
Still trying to convince my uncle to give me his character...

Iir I found out about eve from the old Homeworld community. Hangin about the eve boards for about 3 years, I got into beta for the last 6 months, give or take some. Been here ever since, on an off playing somthing else, like lotro and war, but always coming back.
Its only, I sometimes miss the big empty constellations from the first glorious year. Although, I don't miss everybody calling me a mining carebear for I chose that shiny apoc over everything else...

I was playing EnB and saw the beta sign up for EVE. Tried liked the graphics, but my computer would crash every time I docked at a station. So I for got about it for a while.
EnB closed and I ended up playing some other MMOÆs got bored with the level grinding. Then looked if EVE was still around found it and been playing since.

I discovered eve through a friend,
he stopped playing because he was afraid he'd get an heart attack if he tried to pvp and pve got boring.
Recently we had a discussion about eve and he came to the conclusion that just because I like to blow up other ppl's hard earned virtual money with a lot of risk to my own hard earned virtual money I must be psychologically unstable. Me denying that I'm a psycho cause I play eve only firmed his view as denying it would ofc only be done by a true psycho... (this isn't a troll BTW the guy is seriously weird himself)
I love my friends:S |

Yes, you'll find there's a few of us ex homeworlders around.
God that was a great multiplayer game in its days.
Used to love the games when after we'd exhausted crazy scouts and corvette walls and such that as my mothership still had more hp I'd ram the other guy and win sometimes. xD |

How did I hear of Eve? Through forums mostly, strange whispers of a game unlike anything out there.
What brought me into the game? Istvaan Shogaatsu.
When I read the PC Gamer article about the fall of Miriam and the sheer magnitude of the GHSC's now legendary infiltration, I set down the magazine, got on my laptop, and started playing. I was (and still am) kicking myself for not giving it a try sooner.

An angry colleague played it. I asked a bit and when I found out you can only control one ship at a time/account, there isn't any kind of simulation of anything in it, that it's basically a one unit/player rts, I thought it sounded ******ed.
But some time later some other geezer told me it was complex and hard, and my dumb ass believed his lies.
Two years later I've got three accounts and won't(can't) leave
Always been a sucker for sci-fi, and I'm really looking forward to the march expansion. Hopefully it will restore some sense of OUTER SPACE into this urban ghetto game.
Oh, also Eve Never Fades from the official video trailer page made it look awesome and complex. Still the best introductory vid I've seen, despite being with the old graphics. Also some Goonie (those evil no good bastards) vids (both instructional and propaganda) helped sway me. |

Saw the box for the game at a store (I think it was Gamestop) back in 2003. Was not into MMOs at the time but since it had spaceships and explosions I decided to try it. I have played many MMOs since but I have always come back to my first, my Eve. Eve popped my cherry.

I had played just about every other MMOG out there and had passed over Eve many times because I was told it was a lame space trading game. Eventually, I quit what I was playing at the time, and since it was free for 2 weeks, gave Eve a try. I so regret not playing since beta and passing over the game time and time again. I would have at least twice as many SP then I do now. =(

Started in UO, went to EQ then WoW, back to UO. Was reading the Ultima Online boards with some rant about scamming people and someone posted a link to a blog. Some guy ripping off a few dozen people to buy a Battlship BPO. Sounded neat, the way he described the game and I had saw the banner ads (guess they do work) on the site.
Me and friend tried it out. Loved it. Tried to get 4 other friends to play, none of them made 3 days past the 14 day trial. They are now Wo****ers |

I saw an article in an old copy of PC Gamer (not the GHSC article) that I was reading to kill time. Signed up in June 2005 and haven't left since. Tried Guild Wars for a bit but I lost interest.
A pity I didn't train the skill up in time to fly an 8 heavy drone Thorax. O, RMR! How cruel thou wert! |

Edited by: The AEther on 02/02/2009 19:05:33 My boyfriend started playing EVE after reading about it from Slashdot. He successfully concealed it from me for 3 weeks but eventually i found out. The interface looked very confusing to me so I started pestering him with questions about it which he answered to his newbie extent. He was meanwhile busy mining jaspet in lowsec in a frigate and watching out for rats. Over a few play sessions I picked up enough on the game that i started backseat driving him while he was playing, telling him what to do, etc. Then he got ganked by a Vexor in his Catalyst which i thought was just like wow with the nos effects and pew pew from hybrids. At this point he suggested I should get a trial then we can form a corporation. And that's how i started playing EVE. Since that time we split and he no longer plays the game. I, however, kept on with it even though i haven't played it actively all the time. I am a very visual person and what initially made me want to try the game out is the beauty of some systems. That nos effect i saw coming from the pirate Vexor definitely added to it as well.

I bought the box set went it went on retail, played for a few hours but thought it was a bit 'meh' at the time. A loooong while later I was playing freelancer, but was getting a bit bored of that - so rummaging about in the attic I came across the old box covered in dust. It wouldnt install of course, but I went to the forums and downloaded the game online just for something to do for a day or so - that was 3 years ago.

A guy I played Planetside with had started playing, eventually he drug about 5 of us to eve. I hated it at first to be honest. We were mining in empire, so go figure, but I stayed to chat with friends. Some caldari role players declared war on us and I got my first taste of pvp in eve. I shook for about an hour afterwards from the adrenaline and 5 years later here I am still getting my pvp fix like a good addict. |
